Hi there!
I am pleased to share news from Dr. Alex Bruton and the rest of the USASBE Launch team!! It is shaping up to be an absolutely amazing learning experience!
There will be a workshop next Tuesday to learn all the ins and outs of how we will help you engage your students.
And today I want you to know 5 things:
1. The Top Idea Ninja mini-competition is open and students can start working anytime on their idea models. Just point them here:
http://usasbelaunch.org/top-idea-ninja/.
2. There's still lots of time to get your students involved - by popular demand, the due date for that first mini-competition will be moved a few days to Nov 2 to help avoid the midterm rush. (Web pages are being updated to reflect this...)
3. To help you look and feel good making it all happen, a suite of rich teaching resources is now starting to roll out, e.g.:
* Check out the "teaching resources" tab found here for an example of how you can integrate one of the tools into your classroom for a great learning experience: The Super Hunch!<http://theinnographer.com/toolkit/super-hunch/>
* Here are some samples of the kind of whiteboard tutorial video available to provide to your students: Customer Use Scenarios<http://youtu.be/bTrE9sYPdIg> and Opportunity and Idea Modeling<http://youtu.be/7UDmLXjAAxY>.
* And here's a sample infographic-style resource to help students fashion their pitch: Pitching Your Passion in 2-3 Minutes<http://theinnographer.com/pitching-your-passion-2-3-minutes/>
4. There will be a free virtual workshop next Tuesday Sep 24 from 10-11 AM MST for professors, teachers and coaches. We'll share our screen with you in this web conference, take you through everything you need to know, and answer your questions. Here are the details:
* Topic: Teaching Idea Modeling and Facilitating the Top Idea Ninja mini-competition
* Start: 10 AM MST
* End: 11 AM MST
* Link to join at the above time:

If you cannot make this webinar do not dispair! We will record it and post it on our website shortly afterwards.
5. In the coming days we will be announcing a Best Teacher Award. Your students will be able to nominate you based on their experience with the Top Idea Ninja mini-competition under your guidance.
Sincerely,
Doan.
Dr. Doan Winkel, on behalf of the USASBE Launch team: Dr. Alex Bruton, Dr. Eric Liguori and Dr. Jeff Vanevenhoven
